Flights to The Bottom, Saba from NT$110,034

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your The Bottom escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out The Bottom, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
